Llianmye
Isle of Mountains
Llianmye is a very mountainous island, in fact, most of its land area is steep rocky slopes, with only the coasts flat enough for people to move around easily. Still, calling them flat would be incredibly misleading.
Vampires
In the early years of Corporeal expansion, there were attempts by the wood elves to colonize what little land here is habitable, and they succeeded at the time. However, during the Bronze Age, the island became increasingly more of a haven for vampires. Its terrain and isolation made it impossible to police successfully or to fully reconquer it. In the modern day, the island has no permanent residents, other than vile beasts and spawn of Ynue.
Highlands
In the center of the island, there is a relatively flat area known as the Llianmyan Highlands. This area is covered in shrublands, and there are even large grazers here.
The area is possible to reach on foot, but it would take weeks of trekking through the wilderness and along steep mountain slopes to get there. There are no roads, and no existing infrastructure, and all the food for the journey needs to either be brought along, or hunted on the spot. This has all made this area one of the most isolated places in the world.
It is said that these highlands are now home to the original vampire, the most powerful of them all, a mythical being known as Alaks Dahvrechi.
Province
Even though they are barely able to control the place, the Enyanian crown still desperately holds on to their claim to this island, not for the sake of any natural resources, since there aren't any to be found here, but as a strategic military base and training center.
The island is positioned perfectly to assert control over both exits of the isich bay, giving them power over trade, and allowing them to easily blockade isich's trade access whenever they want, something they have made use of on plenty of occasions.
They do so from small fortresses on the coasts, which serve as military and naval bases.
They also send their new cadets here to train, because while they have long since given up hope of fully asserting control over the island, they most eagerly make use of the vampiric infestation here to train their soldiers, making sure they always have battle-hardened troops available.

Dragon
In addition to Vampires, there are many common dragons, and notably one greater dragon, who operate out of this island. The latter being the most interesting, since this is one of only four confirmed greater dragons left on Veskar. This hotspot of dragon activity can be credited to the mountains, which provide the most secure shelter on the continent, at least for creatures that can fly.
The dragon that lives here is called NylathaƩs the White, and has lived here for around seven hundred years.
Her mate is Kraekanythix the Molten, the black dragon who lives on Sekhanmye. She has only been confirmed to have had two offspring so far, the first was killed by a fiend, around fifteen years of age, while hunting in Enyanin, and the second was killed around fifty years of age, by monster hunters, who had heard rumours of this child, and ventured to Llianmye to kill it.
